Popular Social Network Giant "facebook" has finally decided to bring its/her networking fully to Africa by opening its first African Office in Johannesburg. Facebook opened its first African office to further the company's commitment to help businesses connect with people and suprisingly, Ogilvy veteran, Nunu Ntshingila, will be the company's new Head of Africa.

It will surprise you to know that Facebook's active user population in Africa has grown 20% to 120 million in June 2015 from 100 million in September 2014. More than 80% of these people access Facebook from their mobile phones.

A press statement by Nicola Mendelsohn, VP, EMEA, Facebook. states
"We are inspired by the incredible ways people and businesses in Africa use Facebook to connect. This momentum in Africa comes on top of strong advertiser partnerships and excellent adoption of our products across all regions. In Q1 2015, 52% of our total ad revenue came from outside the US and Canada. But we're just getting started,"
"Mobile is not a trend; it's the fastest development in communications we've ever seen. This couldn't be more true in Africa - where so many people are mobile-only. This new office is a significant milestone for Facebook and our teams want to partner with businesses across the continent," He also added..

The Biggest social media platform Facebook,will initially focus on growing its business in anchor countries in the major regions of sub-Saharan Africa: Kenya (East Africa), Nigeria (West Africa), and South Africa (Southern Africa). Other supported territories include Senegal, Ivory Coast, Ghana, Tanzania, Rwanda, Uganda, Zambia, Mozambique and Ethiopia.

Facebook will partner with governments, telecom operators, agencies and other stakeholders to deliver localised solutions to advertisers and users continent-wide. It will continue to focus on tailoring solutions, metrics and ad formats to the needs of customers and advertisers in the mobile-first, mobile-only African environment.
